How often should the Haval F7 be serviced?
2 Answers
According to the Haval F7 manufacturer's maintenance manual, it is recommended to service the vehicle every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Below is some information about car maintenance: 1. Maintenance involves replacing certain fluids and wear-prone parts: The fluids in a car include engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and brake fluid; wear-prone parts include spark plugs, air filters, and cabin air filters. 2. Engine oil is particularly important for the engine, and a key task during maintenance is changing the oil. If the oil is not changed for an extended period, it cannot form a stable oil film on the surfaces of various components, which can accelerate engine wear.
The maintenance interval for the Haval F7 is typically every 7,500 kilometers or every 6 months, whichever comes first. I've been driving it for a while now, and I habitually check the dashboard every 5,000 kilometers or so, especially since city driving involves frequent traffic jams and short trips, which can accelerate oil degradation. According to the owner's manual, this interval helps protect the engine and transmission system, extending the vehicle's lifespan. For routine maintenance, I make sure to check the engine oil, filters, and brake fluid during service, all of which can be handled at a 4S shop or professional auto repair shop. If you frequently drive long distances or on dusty roads, you might want to shorten the interval to around 6,000 kilometers. Regular maintenance can save a lot on future repair costs—I once delayed a service, and the oil viscosity dropped, negatively affecting fuel efficiency. Overall, developing a habit of timely maintenance is crucial. Don’t procrastinate too long, as small issues can accumulate into major problems.
